I can’t believe what I heard.

Background: I work a job with crazy hours.  I work split shifts, 7am to 9am M-F and various hours depending on what is going on in my clients life 

Driving home from work today there was a commercial on the radio station I typically listen to.  I hit 3 on my presets to find hear what is on the Top 40 station.  The morning show is still on and the DJ is talking about Larry Flint and the CEO of Girls Gone Wild.  They were going to congress to ask for a 5 Billion dollar bailout.  Thier argument: with the economy being so bad people are not buying porn.  Adult movie sales are down 20%. 

I had to look this up to see if it was true.  It was!  I could not believe what I heard.  Of course the problem is the economy.  Did people ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe people are starting to realize that there are better things out there than watching adult films?  Now, I have nothing against this adult industry.  I am more of the mind frame to each its own.  Sure it is an industry that there are plently of temptations.  But we face all types of temptations everyday.  My problem is with asking for a bailout because the sales are down. 

 Have these men been under a rock?  Everything the sales are down.  Just today my parents were at a mall and mentioned how many of the stores are having to close.  Obviously sales are down.

So if your sales are down that means that you can go to Congress and ask for a 5 billion dollar bailout.  So, as a business owner myself I can do the same thing.  My sales were down this past holiday season.  No one will find me with my hand out looking for help.  The only help I will seek is that of a hand up.  I will seek the knowledge to fix the problem myself and if I do not want my business to go under I will work harder.  There are people out there that are still buying.  I will find them.
